Fresno Pacific University

Possible happens here.

When you arrive at Fresno Pacific University, you’ll join a diverse student body from over 40 countries, all with a passion for knowledge, fellowship, and faith. Through a challenging liberal arts education driven by values rooted in the Christian faith, you’ll gain the confidence and determination to succeed in your career and life.

Spiritual life is woven into the fabric of our community—it’s part of our classes, residence halls, and extracurriculars. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to grow in your faith by attending chapel services, joining a ministry team, or studying the Bible with your friends. Whether you prefer a traditional worship service or a talk series focused on current issues, you’ll find it at FPU.

The University offers 100+ areas of study with 39 majors and 40 minors, and we provide numerous study abroad opportunities and internships. More than 80% of our professors are experts in their fields and hold a PhD, meaning you’ll learn from the best no matter what you study. Our small class sizes and student-faculty ratio of 13:1 allow professors to get to know you and truly invest in your life—challenging, mentoring, and pushing you to be your best. Talk about a new research idea over lunch or meet up during office hours.

Put yourself to the test not only in the classroom but also on the field, court, track, or in the pool as an FPU Sunbird athlete. We compete in the NCAA Division II Pacific West Conference and have 16 teams, over 53 national titles, and 294 student-athletes.

We want to ensure you stay focused on your education while we focus on making sure you can afford it. We’ve awarded more than $29 million annually to our students, 98% of whom receive some form of financial aid. Our financial aid resources include scholarships, grants, and loans that go all the way up to full tuition. And with our Four-Year Graduation Guarantee, you’ll get a head start toward achieving your personal goals. If you’re not able to graduate in four years, your necessary courses are on us!
